Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of gaseous dibromine to aqueous bromide anions.

Chemistry
1 answer:
stich3 [128]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced half reaction is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

When bromine gas is reduced to bromide ions, the number of electron transferred are 2

The chemical equation for the reduction of bromine gas to bromide ions follows:

Br_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2Br^{-}

Hence, the balanced half reaction is written above.

Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials: Al3++3e−→Al;E∘=−1.66 V Cu2++2e−→Cu;E∘=0
Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative,  the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity  because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .

So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:

Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V =  5.06 V

Equally valid is to write the equation as:

Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species

These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.

I need help! how many moles are in 3.4*10^-7 grams of silicon dioxide, SiO2. I got 2.0^17 but I think it's wrong :(
blondinia [14]
Molar mass SiO2 = 28 + 32 = 60 

<span>so moles sand = 3.4 x 10-7 / 60</span>

Explain with examples following characteristics of chemical reactions: a. Change of colour b. Evolution of gas c. Change of smel
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. change of colour:

A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products. The products have different molecular structures than the reactants. Different atoms and molecules radiate different colours of light. Hence, there usually is a change in colour during a chemical reaction.

Eg: copper reactions with the elements

b. Evolution of gas:

A gas evolution reaction is a chemical reaction in which one of the end products is a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide.

Eg: ammonium hydroxide breaks down to water and ammonia gas.

c. Change of smell :

Production of an Odor Some chemical changes produce new smells.  ... The formation of gas bubbles is another indicator that a chemical change may have occured.

Eg: The chemical change that occurs when an egg is rotting produces the smell of sulfur.

d. Change of state:

A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances, also called reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, known as products.

Eg: candle wax (solid) melts initially to produce molten wax (liquid)

Answer: glass is not considered as solute.

Extra's:

A solute is a substance that gets dissolved in a solvent. ... The solutes in air are oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide gas, as well as water vapour.

Sugar is a solute in the solvent water. Sugar is one of the most soluble solutes in water.

Also solute is a powder that can be dissolved in solvent like water. here baking soda is a solute.
